A must for anyone interested in comedy writing
A brilliant podcast. It’s not just talking about jokes. It gives a real glimpse behind the curtain of joke writing. This podcast is an absolute “must-listen” for any comedian just starting out. But it might also surprise comedy audience members just how much prep or even how many false-starts go into a really good joke. Some come to you fully formed, in an instant. Others my take years to tweet and modify. And others you’ll put down only to use the same gag a couple of years later and it works. Mark and his guests cover all these. The show is also big on audience input and feedback. For those interested in comedy, jokes or even the (comic) writing process in general this is a no risk listen.
